“ First visit to Zest of India and I’m delighted to be sharing such positive feedback. The food is superb, each dish we ordered was well prepared and incredibly tasty. The chef comes to check customer satisfaction and the staff are very attentive and friendly. The menu is extensive but not overwhelming and contains the typical dishes you would expect along with a great range of chef specialities. I’m already looking forward to trying other dishes at my next visit. We opted for dishes we’ve never tried before and were delighted with the choices. The only negative was the restaurant was fairly quiet with only 2 other tables in but it deserves more as this is an excellent Indian restaurant serving great food! ”
